How to know Access Permissions on a directory using Java

[navajyothi]

Does anyone know if there is a way to check the access
permissions of different users using Java? I need to know
if a user has full control or if they have read only
access or none to a certain directory. I have seen
different ways to set the permissions but none to read
them. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Have a look at the methods of the File class.

try this:

File fl = new File("Myfile");

fl.canRead(); //returns boolean
fl.canWrite(); //returns boolean
